2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I got a small xerox laser. It's fantastic. Works on everything I'm the house, including phones, tablets, windows and Linux. It's a bit more eh feature rich than I was expecting, but after tinkering in the settings I've not had to touch it in years.

    You know, I've never considered a Xerox (despite them being kind of OG in that department lol).

    I guess I just assumed they only made the big MFP's for offices.

    Will keep them in mind. Thanks.

    It's a xerox B230 if you're interested. It's small, and as survived cats, a 4yr old and several water spills lol.

    I will say, despite some of the reviews, and as an IT guy - set it up on wired lan. And add it as a network IP printer. Apparently the software (USB I'm assuming from reviews) is a sore spot for some. I see it up out of the box on my network and have never had any (non self inflicted) issues.

    Edit: no software needed with IP, from any of my devices.

    My experience working with the MFP xeroxs has been "change a single setting? Guess what? Reboot!"...
